Path of Exile’s new mercenaries are very strong. Unlike Diablo 4’s mercs, PoE’s are essentially NPC allies using all the same gear and items a player could. At high enough levels, they’re arguably better than we could ever be—tireless soldiers on the frontlines of the war for loot. PoE streamer Pohx Kappa discovered this firsthand…
Who wants to set up a flow of magical stuff to create more magical stuff? Who, I ask, wants some magical automation? Me, it turns out, and probably you, and probably lots of other people who like automation games.

Just days after PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst admitted that playtester response to Marathon has been “varied,” Bungie has announced a delay, and says a new release date will be shared in the fall. “Through every comment and real-time conversation on social media and Discord, your voice has been strong and clear,” Bungie wrote in…

To say I was psyched about FBC: Firebreak when it was first announced is an understatement. Nothing gets me foaming at the mouth quite like quirky, eldritch, co-op shooters. So you can imagine my disappointment when I finally got to play Firebreak and it wasn’t as outlandish as I had imagined. The foundations of Firebreak…
Last month saw Quake inducted into the World Videogame Hall of Fame, and it’s about time: as PCG’s Andy Chalk observed “you’ve had Halo in there since 2017, and not Quake? What? What are we even doing here?” That’s Quake fans for you. Quake was one of four HoF inductees for 2025, with its new…
The last few seasons of Overwatch 2 have given an increasing amount of power to players. Perks have given us the ability to customise each hero a bit more to our liking, hero bans have let us strike problematic characters from competitive, and now we even have more of a say in what map we’ll…
Ring the bell, it’s time for me to take another dive into Blizzard’s weird microtransactions again—horses with $65 of mandatory currency slapped on the side of them, FOMO dinosaurs with hefty in-game benefits, and now this: A basic lack of a confirm screen occasionally biting $7.50 out of Diablo 4 players’ wallets because, well, who’s…
Have you heard of BOE? If you haven’t, now’s a good time to bone up as it is no less than the world’s biggest maker of LCD panels. And BOE has just shown off a new 32-inch 8K 120 Hz monitor at the SID Display Week showin Los Angeles. The 120 Hz bit is the…
